About WT

Wordtrade.com is an Internet Newsletter of Informational Reviews
Professional & Text Books in the Sciences & Academic & Text Books in
the Humanities

We have changed our editorial focus from
general titles in philosophy & religious studies to technical titles
in the humanities and sciences.

Many general and trade titles will appear at
SirReadalot.org which is
designed for that purpose.

Our reviews are designed to meet the needs of
people who want thorough knowledge about newly published books and
media services, especially in the fields of religious studies and
philosophy, the humanities and sciences.

Our emphasis is on some comprehensive descriptions and
some synopses of the content of new titles of quality, providing
independent evaluations, when our reviewer's warrant.

We do not sell books or the products we review. We only evaluate
them, choosing the best that comes our way.

We are dedicated to discovering excellent published information
products and services.

The contents of Wordtrade reviews are often
